Hey Shiggy, how are the Jones H-bars?Alex UK

Wondering how you're finding them? I have found a LOAD of old steel handlebars at work so I might "re-cycle" some via the local frame shop and try out some bars like that! Might be the answer for people like me with "short" headtubes (Hey, I like 40deg stems and loads of spacers...it looks soooo nice)

I could not get comfortable descending or on fast twisty singletrack on the HBars. With drops I get suck down and into the hooks. Very stable, very secure, easy braking.

With the HBars I never had a secure grip and braking took more effort. Still better than straight bars. They would make great commuter bars

Looking forward to your new drops. I am expecting to get one of the first pairs.
You will have the first bar off the production line.....Alex UK

....it will save us a load of $$$ over testing it in the lab! ;-)

No problems, if they go into production I will get a set straight off to you.

*might* have some news tomorrow, almost makes it worth going in to work!
